NCIS #6

It was off to Desncanso Gardens again for a stand-in recall. This time, we had to shoot inside, but first, there was a scene outside in the backyard that had to be shot. Unfortunately, it was raining so it was cold and it wasn't pleasant. Also, although I was standing in for the main bad guy, I wasn't used at all since I wasn't really needed.

My cold was in the in-between stage. My throat was raw as hell and it seemed like nothing I used to fight it was working. It was lozenge after lozenge, slippery elm bark tea after tea. I had to wait until my body started to produce mucus to combat it and that's why it's in between.

Later, we shot inside and it was a little better since it was warmer, but there was a lot of waiting around for nothing. I actually only stood in once since again, the actor was used for blocking and focus. The fun thing was that they were using guns and blasting, so it was loud and I can't wait to see what it looks like.

It got dark and it got really really cold. Mary Pham was there again so we talked about her web series and got to know each other a little. Then they decided to wrap me, right after I just got in to overtime. I probably could have squeezed a little more time in if I hadn't gone outside. George, one of the PAs noticed me hanging out by the warmers and asked Tony the AD if I could be wrapped and I was. Oh well. At least I could go home.

I talked to Jared and Shirl a little about life, ate dinner, then rested because my throat was not feeling very good. I used some of the snort relief and that helped me feel good enough to go to sleep.
